Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 794: Chapter 807: Settling New and Old Scores Together

If An Ran really doesn’t want to cancel the engagement ceremony, and if her son doesn’t come back by then, would she cause a scene at the engagement ceremony in front of all the guests? You know, those who come to attend the Mu Family’s engagement ceremony are all influential people in various fields.

If she causes a scene, how would they manage it?

But now, just by mentioning it, the girl has dispelled all their concerns without any complaints, making them feel very sorry for her.

He Yushu held An Ran’s hand and gently patted the back of her hand, ”Child, don’t worry, you are the daughter-in-law recognized by the Mu Family. The Mu Family will not let you suffer any grievances.”

”Aunt He, you don’t have to say that. I don’t feel aggrieved at all. Now I feel relieved. I can wholeheartedly prepare to be the bridesmaid for my elder sister. However, if Xingfeng doesn’t come back by then, Wenxuan will be thrilled.”

An Ran said teasingly.

She had heard Mu Xingfeng mention that in the Imperial City, the custom is that the man must pass the test of the bride’s younger brother before taking her away. Only when the younger brother is satisfied will he give his sister away.

Obviously, the Mu Family also knew this custom. Mu Zhenzong shook his head helplessly, and He Yushu showed a smile, knowing that An Ran truly had no complaints, and she felt relieved.

Mu Wanxin clenched her fist and said, ”Don’t say anymore, I can hardly control my little universe. I still have to settle accounts with him for standing you up. If he dares to do it again, new and old accounts will be settled together.”

Her words completely dispelled the previous gloom in the room.

The next morning, Old Mr. Shen, accompanied by Shen Wenxuan, came to the Mu Family after receiving the news of the engagement ceremony cancellation between Mu Xingfeng and An Ran.

Upon hearing the servant’s report, Old Mr. Mu and Grandma Mu came out to greet them personally.

”Old Brother, how come you have time to come today? We’ll see each other at the children’s wedding in a few days. Can’t wait for these few days?” Old Mr. Mu said with a cheerful smile.

Old Mr. Shen, in contrast to his usual affable self, had a cold expression, and let out a cold snort, ”Young Brother Mu, there’s no need to mention Wenxuan and Wanxin’s wedding for now. Do I need to remind you what tomorrow is? Why? Did you cancel tomorrow’s engagement because you think we meet too frequently?”

Old Mr. Mu hadn’t expected Old Mr. Shen to come because of Mu Xingfeng and An Ran’s engagement. He knew that An Ran had saved Ya before, and the Shen Family was deeply grateful and attached great importance to An Ran. But he didn’t expect Old Mr. Shen to visit in person for this matter.

”Old Brother, I had no choice in this matter. Since you’re here, let’s discuss inside slowly. Please come in,” Old Mr. Mu made a welcoming gesture and asked the servants to serve tea.

Old Mr. Shen sat on the sofa, looking around, but didn’t see the person he wanted to see. Didn’t his grandson say she was coming back to the Imperial City? Could it be that she’s heartbroken over the engagement cancellation and went back to Nan’an?

Thinking about this possibility, Old Mr. Shen’s temper flared up.

”Young Brother Mu, you better give me a satisfactory explanation. Don’t think you can bully Ran just because she is an orphan. I, Shen Haotian, will be the first not to agree.”

Old Mr. Mu took the teapot from the servant and personally poured a cup of tea for Old Mr. Shen, handing it over, ”Old Brother, don’t you trust my character? Little Ran is well-behaved and sensible. Our whole family can’t do enough to care for her. How could we let her be wronged? This issue was indeed unexpected. Xingfeng is on a mission and hasn’t returned yet. We can’t let the child appear at the engagement ceremony alone tomorrow, can we? That would make her even more embarrassed.”
